Talktime Speech Therapy

Talktime was founded in 2007 by Amy Shope as a way to provide direct Speech and Language services to children in the area. Initially providing services on her own, Amy soon found the demand for quality SLP services far exceeded her capacity, and expanded the office, resources, and staff.

We now have a continually growing staff of experienced and certified Speech-Language Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Reading Therapists and Music Therapists, each offering a slightly different background.Since we collaborate on treatment plans and procedures, we are able to utilize the different strengths of each therapist to provide the best treatment possible!

Our Speech-Language Pathologists are among the most highly qualified professionals in the field and have a minimum of 5 years of experience working with the pediatric population. An experienced speech-language pathologist will evaluate all aspects of your child's communication skills and design an individual treatment plan that will insure that your child achieves optimal therapeutic success.
